Why Do People Travel All Over the Globe?

Why do people leave their homes and voyage all over the globe?
By being exposed to new places, people and cultures, you’ll develop a wider world view. And that will make you a better-rounded global citizen. It’s a great reward and big reason why people love to travel. It helps open your mind. You realize that there’s no one way to live life. Meeting people from other places will show you that your world view isn’t the same as everyone else’s.
Why do you travel? What are your reasons?

Shazde Garden: A Sparkling Diamond on Heart of Desert

Shazde or Prince Garden, one of the most outstanding examples of Persian historical garden, was originally built under the order of the governor of Kerman, during the late Qajar period.  Its location, near Mahan, was selected strategically as it was placed on the route between Bam Citadel and Kerman. The garden’s traditional edifice was embellished with small brooks rushing between green and gigantic trees.The presence of fertile soil, gentle sunshine, mild breeze and most importantly  qanats(water ditches), miraculously, has provided the possibility of creating a grassy garden in that  dry area.Shazdeh Garden was registered by UNESCO World Heritage Sites under the name of the Persian Garden in 2011. We wish the best for our American guests in their future together and thanks for letting us share part of their honeymoon.
